passing the baton
Written by Mary Beth

Yesterday a passing of the baton from one generation to the next took place.  Her five children now carry the baton.  A very large family, begun by two people many a year ago, gathered as Dan's Grandma Neff was buried and remembered.  Her children, many grandchildren, great grandchildren (the great-great-grandchildren did not attend) along with spouses of said offspring along with friends took time out of the rat race of society to reflect upon a woman who was very dear to many.  I think her most important role was one she and her late husband (Grandpa Neff) played together by leaving a christian heritage. One I hope will continue through further generations.  I pray that the hope of being in the presence of Jesus Christ will be one carried by all.

Thanks for the good words, Mary Beth. I praise God for the heritage our family has. Friday was a great day of celebration. Won't it be wonderful to spend eternity together?
